i suppose i can share these here. i went to a wedding last july and couldn't decide if i needed to wear a tie or not.

wearing a jacket was out of the question since i didn't have time to get one and have it tailored. i have long monkey arms.

i know some people feel violent if they see a waistcoat like what i have here and not have a jacket to go with but i didn't really care. i ended up using the tie since it was a bit more formal and appropriate for the wedding.

no tie:

with tie:

i fucking hate weddings and dressing up.

the waistcoat is about 1-2 cm too short and the pants are a tad bit tight too. it does look good though.

what does anyone think of these boots? I like the red colour, but I'm afraid it won't go with too much stuff (even though I wear mostly dark colours, so really it should be fine) .. it comes in black but the black leather looks too shiny

looking on other sites, I think the red isn't quite as bright as that picture makes them look, it's a little darker brick red. I think I might get them if I don't find anything better. Figure they'll be good for work or weekend wear :)

Love them both but the black pair slightly more; don't like the red pair's heel colour. I think it makes them look cheaper. Maybe that's me being weird and pedantic though.

I'm not sure they count as healthy, as you have to use oil, but you can do something else with apple slices. Cover them in pancake batter, then fry them in a pan, and add cinnamon powder sugar when they're ready. That's pretty good and it doesn't take long preparing, either.

I love the idea of those apple chips. I seem to remember Jamie Oliver having a similar snack recipe for kids' lunchboxes. I think it was in The Return of the Naked Chef cookbook. I'll have a look for it.

yeah, I've never really made anything on there for that reason. my Mum used to make Zucchini frittata fingers like that when we were kids (we called it Zucchini slice), it's delicious. Basically like a quiche with no crust.

I really wanted a pair of ruffled panties, and I knew this was the place to go.
These

or these
With a slight preference for the last pair. On their website, these were around 6 pounds (about 9 bucks). A bit too much for some crappy non-cotton stuff I'd only wear when I get laid (which is not too often), but meh.
Surprise, however! Romanian Accessorize has to be schizophrenic and sell them for almost 10 pounds. Hell, that's almost double! So I bought nothing and cursed them and figured I could buy a cardigan for that money, but I didn't find any cute one, so I just bought tea (3 varieties, though) and some coconut cookies.

Maybe they go on sale...some time. If not, I'll drop hints to my girlfriends, for Christmas. After all, the two babydolls I own (and almost never worn) are from them, as well.
Thanks, though. Or I could just hope to find something nice when I visit England again, hopefully next year. They also had that 10% off deal for students.

Thanks! There are definitely great recipes on there, but quite some of them contain a lot of ingredients. I'm trying to keep it a bit more simple. :)

My mom got me on this chia pudding kick. It's delicious, simple, and good for you.

All you need are chia seeds and almond milk(I guess you could choose whatever milk you prefer). So you pour the chia seeds in the milk and let them expand for an hour then eat. I'm sure you can find the recipe online somewhere and it might take less time. Anyway we use half almond milk and half coconut milk. It's a bit strange in texture but it reminds me of tapioca pudding with a lil crunch. I like it.

I am still deciding about the boots, but I did buy myself a new handbag for work today. I'd been looking for a while, wandered into TJ Maxx on my lunch break and this one was less than half retail price. It's really nice leather and I love the lining too. The only difference to the pics below is mine has a leopard print pony/calf skin flap on the front pocket where the buckle is.

This evening it's the opening ceremony for my MA program. I want to wear a similar dress to this one
(it looks almost the same, with a different cleavage), but I only have a pair of grey cotton tights. I need something warm because it'll be really cold, and I really want to wear the dress. So my question is: do I wear transparent tights with knee-high socks (although I've never done it before), or should I just go with the grey tights?
I have dark blue, black, tartan (black and grey) and full black knee-highs. What colour? I'd pick the black because they're thigh-high and that means a warmer Irina, but I don't wanna look like I'm mourning. Oh and I'll be wearing mint/very light blue earrings. Pretty statement-ish, I'd say, they're the ones from Sarah. That's all for accessories.
